The objective of the game is to keep the ball aloft by kicking it in time with the rhythm. Four other Space Kickers will also join in sync midway through the game.
The player taps to kick the ball in time with the music. The space kicker will frequently kick the ball up higher and say, "High, kick, toe!" and the player has to flick the stylus to keep the ball in the air.

Controls

• Tap: Kick
• Flick: High kick

Timing Notes

• Hit: The ball is kicked up and the gameplay smoothly continues.
• Barely: N/A
• Miss: The ball falls and another ball appears at the beginning of the following measure. If the player flicks the stylus too quickly or too late after holding it down, the space kicker makes a shocked expression and miss the ball completely.
